The Scan Fall Arrest Safety Harness is a full body safety harness designed for use as part of a suitable personal fall protection system when working at height.

Featuring front and rear attachment points, robust polyester webbing and fully adjustable shoulder, chest and leg straps, this harness is designed to provide a secure, adaptable fit for workers carrying out tasks where fall arrest protection is required.

The harness incorporates a metal D-ring attachment, a robust metal front attachment point and a sliding rear dorsal plate designed to assist with body positioning following a fall.

Suitable for appropriately planned work at height applications in the construction industry, the Scan Full Body Harness is particularly relevant to trades such as scaffolding and structural steel erection.

The harness is specified as conforming to EN 361, the European standard for full body harnesses used in personal fall arrest systems.

Supplied with a storage bag, the Scan Fall Arrest Harness offers a practical solution for transporting and storing essential fall protection equipment.

Important: A full body harness must be used as part of a complete, correctly selected fall arrest system. The harness alone does not prevent or arrest a fall.

Full Body Fall Arrest Harness

The Scan Fall Arrest Harness is designed to distribute fall arrest forces through the body when used correctly with a suitable, compatible fall protection system.

A full body harness forms an essential component of many personal fall arrest arrangements.

Unlike a positioning belt, a full body fall arrest harness is designed to support the wearer during the arrest of a fall, subject to the equipment's certification, correct fit and intended use.

The Scan harness is intended for work environments where the risk assessment identifies the need for personal fall arrest equipment.

Front & Rear Attachment Points

The harness features front and rear attachment points, providing flexibility for compatible fall arrest arrangements.

Rear Attachment

The rear attachment arrangement includes a metal D-ring and dorsal plate assembly.

The dorsal attachment is commonly used in suitable fall arrest configurations, depending on the connecting equipment and system design.

Front Attachment

The harness also features a robust metal front attachment point.

This provides an additional connection option where permitted by the manufacturer's instructions and the selected fall protection system.

Important: Only attachment points specifically identified by the manufacturer as suitable for fall arrest may be used for that purpose. The presence of an attachment point does not automatically mean it is approved for every fall protection application.

Sliding Rear Dorsal Plate

The Scan Full Body Harness incorporates a sliding rear dorsal plate.

This component is designed to move upwards as part of the harness arrangement and assist with body positioning following a fall.

Correct harness adjustment is essential to help the equipment perform as intended.

The dorsal plate should not be regarded as a guarantee that the wearer will remain fully upright after a fall.

Suspension following a fall remains a medical and rescue emergency, making a suitable rescue plan essential.

Fully Adjustable Straps

The Scan Fall Arrest Safety Harness features adjustable straps to help achieve an appropriate fit.

Adjustment points include:

• Shoulder straps – for positioning the harness on the upper body.

• Chest strap – for securing the upper section of the harness.

• Leg straps – for fitting the harness around the legs.

The adjustable design allows the harness to be fitted to the wearer within the manufacturer's approved size range.

Correct fitting is critical to the safe performance of a fall arrest harness.

Robust Polyester Webbing

The harness is manufactured using polyester webbing, providing a strong and practical construction for personal fall protection equipment.

The webbing forms the main load-bearing structure of the harness.

Before each use, the wearer must inspect the webbing for signs of damage, including cuts, abrasion, fraying, chemical contamination, burns or deterioration.

Damaged or suspect equipment must be removed from service.

Suitable for Construction Work at Height

The Scan EN 361 Fall Arrest Harness is intended for appropriately planned work at height activities, including suitable construction applications.

Potential users and applications include:

• Scaffolders

• Structural steel erectors

• Construction workers

• Building maintenance personnel

• Industrial maintenance teams

• Other trained workers using approved fall arrest systems

The harness must only be used where the complete system, working conditions and rescue arrangements have been assessed as suitable.

Where possible, work at height should first be avoided or controlled using collective protective measures, such as properly designed guardrails or working platforms.

EN 361 Full Body Harness Standard

The Scan Fall Arrest Harness is specified as conforming to EN 361.

EN 361 is the European standard covering full body harnesses used in personal fall arrest systems.

The standard addresses requirements and testing for this type of protective equipment.

Important: EN 361 conformity does not mean the harness is suitable for every work at height situation or that it can be used without additional equipment.

A complete fall arrest system may require compatible connecting equipment, an appropriate energy absorber or fall arrest device, a suitable anchor arrangement and adequate fall clearance.

Check the product's current certification, markings, user instructions and declaration of conformity before use.

Supplied with Storage Bag

The harness comes with a storage bag for convenient transport and storage.

Keeping fall protection equipment in an appropriate bag can help protect it from unnecessary dirt and handling damage when not in use.

The harness should be stored clean and dry, away from chemicals, excessive heat, sharp objects and other conditions that could damage the webbing or metal components.

Work at Height Safety

Falls from height can cause serious or fatal injuries, making proper planning, equipment selection and training essential.

A fall arrest harness is only one part of a safe system of work.

Before work begins, employers and competent personnel should ensure that:

• A suitable work at height risk assessment has been completed.

• Safer methods and collective fall prevention measures have been considered first.

• The harness is appropriate for the task and wearer.

• All system components are compatible and approved for their intended use.

• Suitable anchor points have been identified and assessed.

• Sufficient fall clearance is available.

• Swing-fall and edge hazards have been considered.

• Workers have received appropriate training.

• Equipment inspections are completed and recorded as required.

• A prompt and effective rescue plan is in place.

Never rely on emergency services as the sole rescue plan for a suspended worker.

Harness Inspection & Care

Fall protection equipment requires careful inspection and maintenance.

Before Each Use

The wearer should check:

1. Polyester webbing for cuts, fraying, abrasion or chemical damage.

2. Stitching for broken, loose or damaged threads.

3. Metal D-rings and attachment points for deformation, cracks or corrosion.

4. Buckles and adjustment mechanisms for damage or malfunction.

5. The dorsal plate and attachment assemblies for visible damage.

6. Product labels and identification markings for legibility.

7. Any signs that the harness may have been involved in a fall arrest event.

The harness must also undergo periodic detailed examination by a competent person at intervals appropriate to the manufacturer's instructions, applicable requirements and conditions of use.

Important: Any harness that has arrested a fall must be withdrawn from service immediately and dealt with in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not reuse damaged, suspect or fall-loaded equipment without the required manufacturer-authorised assessment.

Correct Harness Fitting

The harness must be fitted and adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the user's training.

In general, the wearer should ensure that:

• The harness is correctly oriented.

• Shoulder straps are positioned properly.

• Leg straps are secured and adjusted.

• The chest strap is correctly fastened.

• Straps are snug without restricting normal movement.

• Attachment points are correctly positioned.

• Buckles and adjustment mechanisms are fully secured.

• A suitable fit check has been completed.

Important: These points are general guidance only and are not a substitute for the manufacturer's fitting instructions or practical fall protection training.
